in 2011 we felt a little tremble here in washington from an earthquake. a disaster declaration was declared for virginia after the earthquake that was felt here in the capital. but this wasn't a disaster that overwhelmed local capabilities. it didn't overwhelm the capabilities of the regional capital area. it didn't overwhelm the capabilities of virginia. yet, we transferred what were truly responsibilities for the state and communities to the federal government. this per capita damage indicator ends up becoming really problematic for two reasons. first, it was established in 1996, but fema failed to update it. and second, simply using the per capita damage indicator is an unfair way to assess whether or not a disaster has occurred. and let me explain why. if you have a small populated state versus a large populated state, where you have a concentration of people in an area, you won't ever attain it if you have a large population. whereas if you have a small population, you will, with the exact same event. my question is: should oklahoma benefit on a per

george washington had his family inoculated. back in the time of the revolutionary war, more people died from communicable disease than died from actual bullets. this it was true in most wars up until this century. so i think it takes bold vision, and i think sandy greenberg will help to move this along with his prize. i love the idea of incentives. we're a country built on incentives. i don't think any scientist is going to jump forward and say i'm doing it only for the prize. prizes don't hurt. we should acknowledge that these scientists who can come forward and may come forward with a great cure should be rewarded for that. and so i would just like to thank sandy greenberg and his family for setting up this prize, and i hope that out of this some great good will come for those who have gone blind in prevention. mr. coons: thank you, senator paul. i, like you, am confident that some great good will come out of this, out of this bold vision, out of this clear initiative. as we look forward at the health care debates that have r

the presiding officer: the senator from washington. ms. cantwell: i ask the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. ms. cantwell: i rise to say what as important day it is for the u.s. coast guard. our communities who benefit from those services, the men and women who answer the call to serve. the reason i say that is because we have passed a bill that gives 40,000 active-duty coast guard members the support they need. it is a worthy tribute to a force of men and women that in 2000 alone helped us save over 3,800 lives across the u.s., confiscated over 166,000 pounds of cocaine and secured over 472 vessels before they arrived at our ports. this legislation will give the coast guard the funds that it needs to upgrade equipment and purchase the right vessels for carrying out every mission that they need. this kind of work exemplifies the heroes like chief petty officer terrell horn of california. officer horn died in the line of duty last week while tracing drug smugglers off the coast of california. our thou
